Part 5

Emperor Inkara shouts for Benaui, who steps forward and says he is there. Inkara says the rebel army was to be suppressed at once, and has he really failed. Benaui says yes, that his power was unable to accomplish the task, and he deeply apologizes. Inkara says his apologies won't change the problem, that they just run away like an animal with it's tail between their legs when up against such ignorant people. He says this time he'll strike back at those ignorant people so they will know his greatness and quake in fear this time.

Benaui says that the relating countries aren't at fault, and still support their country. He says that by occupying them it will show what will happen to those that dare to oppose him, and what difference does a village or two make. He says that he's had difficulties due to Benaui's worthlessness. He then calls for Nuwangi, who enters, and says he is going to entrust him as the general of the Omutsuikeru (Samurai-type warriors), he only has to do as Inkara says. Benaui says "As you wish" and leaves as Nuwangi laughs.

Outside the main chambers, Nuwangi stops Benaui and Kurou. He says that according to the rumor, his followers are not fighting hard, and has he gradually lost his edge. Kurou gets mad and says "What did you say?!" raising his hand to hit Nuwangi. Nuwangi asks what he is going to do with that hand, surely someone of his position would not strike the new Omutsuikeru general. Kurou asks then if he should nicely escort him out, then. Benaui tells Kurou to stop, and Nuwangi asks if he thinks this will be settled so easily. Benaui says that his subordinate is very sorry, he seems to act like a trouble-making child often, and
that he did not think suitably of the Omutsuikeru general, and to forgive them. Nuwangi says that they should be careful where they step, and Benaui says he will take that advice, and wishes to express their gratitude. Nuwangi then leaves.

Kurou says he can't believe that a hoodlum like Nuwangi has been made a general of the Omutsuikeru warriors, and at most he should only be a head of common foot-soldiers. Benaui says he guesses so, and Kurou says that surely the Omutsuikeru see his lack of ability. Benaui says no, that even if he is a hoodlum as Kurou says, a group of people will follow without understanding. He says there seems to be a shadow within his eyes, and Kurou says that it is like him to think too much. Benaui says one could assume that he had is hand on that village, and Kurou's face turns angry, saying "It can't be..." Benaui says
that is only speculation, and they have other things to be doing. He tells Kurou to go report on the situation of the war, and with a "Yes sir!" he heads off.

[Visit outside]

Teoro's voice can be heard saying, "Hey, walk faster". A man with a weapon held at his back says it hurts, that he's walking and to please not trust so much. Eruruu and Hakuoro approach, and Eruruu asks what is going on. Teoro says they've arrested this suspicious man, and Hakuoro questions "Suspicious man?" Teoro said he looked very restless and was and was wondering around and searching nearby. The man said he only came there peddling, and Teoro asks why the sneaky behavior if that's the case. He said it seemed like a nice place and he only wanted to stay at the inn, and he didn't think he had to notify anyone when the person on watched changed. He only wanted a warm bed, but now has been arrested. He says to please forgive him, he's only there and business and they can search him if they like.

Hakuoro says that if he's a merchant, what are his dealings. He says he can handle pretty much any service that one could request, except for the selling of slaves. He says that he most commonly sells medicine though, and shows them his wares. Eruruu looks surprised when she sees a medicine called Mapottei. The man says she knows what it is and Hakuoro says it is because she's a healer. He asks if they'd want it, as it cannot be obtained in the back woods. Hakuoro asks what it is for, and Eruruu gets flustered. Teoro asks if she doesn't know, and she says of course she knows, so he wonders why she won't say. The man says that
it is the treasure of an animal, Herapetta, that lives in the sea, and that it's an energy medicine. Teoro asks if it is effective, and the man says that it can keep your partner from sleeping all night. Teoro laughs at this and says they should see a trial, and Eruruu bonks him several times. The man turns to Hakuoro and asks if he'd like it, and he says no, it's fine.

Hakuoro then tells him that this is a place of battle, and he should leave at once, because if he stays he could get involved. The man says he must be joking, and then says, "Is this lovely girl your daughter?" He says "This girl?" and then Aruruu jumps onto him. The man says she is really very cute and asks if she'd like some candy. She stays silent and Hakuoro says not to take offense, she is extremely shy around strangers. The man says is that so, then says him saying this is a place of battle must be a joke, to have such a sweet girl living there. Hakuoro says it is even though the girls there are in good spirits, and he should leave, because he doesn't want an unrelated person involved.

A little time passes, and the man says he's sorry for troubling them by asking for food and water. Hakuoro says he will need it for his journey. The man says to express his gratitude, he will give Hakuoro a little advice. Hakuoro says "Advice?" and the man says yes, and then Hakuoro's vision turns to black and white -- a cold chill pierces up his backbone, and the air feels frozen around him. The man says he is careless, and if he were an assassin, Hakuoro would already be dead. He tells Hakuoro not to move, and then pulls apart his cane, revealing a blade inside. Hakuoro asks if he is going to murder him, and the man says no, as he said before, he's just giving him a little advice.

Suddenly Hakuoro's vision goes back to color, and the man is asking if Aruruu will draw back because he hasn't done anything -- standing over him is a growling Mukkuru beside Aruruu. The man says he should leave now and in a flash of white, is suddenly gone. Hakuoro is confused, having not even seen him run away. Aruruu jumps up on him and he tells her not to worry, but inside he continues to worry about the strange man.

~~~~~

That night the man meets with Benaui outside the village. Benaui thanks the man, Chikinaro, for his troubles. Chikinaro says that Hakuoro is quite an interesting person. Benaui questions "Interesting?" and Chikinaro says that he has a sort of charm, and though one couldn't see it, his charm is unavoidable. Benaui says as promised, and gives him his payment, and Chikinaro thanks him. He says here are detailed contents and asks Benaui to look it over, then leaves. Benaui repeats "That man charms..." to himself.

~~~~~

In the main meeting house, the chief of Wakkai village tells Hakuoro his people wish to join the movement. He says that if they wish to join under their jurisdiction, they will have to swear on their blood to follow their instruction, and those that can't are not wanted. The chief says of course, and that he has brought his most powerful men as proof, and tells Hakuoro to please make use of them. Hakuoro thanks him and says he shall.

Some time passes, and Eruruu comes to tell Hakuoro that four villages have joined with them: Yutafu, Epukara, San, and Wakkai. Teoro says it is probably only because of the unrelated village that was attacked. Sopoku goes up to him and hits him, telling him to keep quiet and not be such a fool.

Oboro enters and says they have returned. Hakuoro says that is good, as everyone must hear his plans. A map is shown of the allied villages against the empire, and he says this is the progress of the battle so far. He says that there are some obstructive barriers to making the battle progress advantageous. He points at a specific area of the map, and says in particular, the gate at Tatokori. He says if they strike there, they can divide the village and it is possible with cooperation to use it to their advantage. He says the gate is used as a toll gate and therefore isn't very strong, but to recklessly plunge all the reinforcements into an attack would cause trouble, because then the enemy would be able to tell their intention. He shows two battle points to either side of Tatokori on the map,
and he says that two groups will attack at these points as a decoy to separate out the strength of the enemy troops, while then their main unit will slip in and take Tatokori's gate. He tells them they will carry out the plan the next morning.

~~~~~

A bell sounds and Hakuoro's troops disperse out to the two battle locations.

Kurou and two soldiers are riding along the plain, and Kurou curses that they've run into such a troublesome area, where the foothold is bad and it's harder to move. Suddenly arrows shoot out at them from the sides, but they block them. Kurou tells them to come out of hiding, and another arrow is shot at him, which he easily blocks with his sword, and he says that it's depressing.

Benaui's voice is then heard saying to stay calm. He rides in with two more soldiers. Kurou says that he understands, but is getting irritated. Benaui says he honestly is surprised that the enemy is in this location. Kurou says he believes it is a large force, and Benaui says that it has extended the force and he's surprised such a command was taken. He says that usually with a rapid expansion of troops, then the soldiers become a disorderly crowd, but their movement appears skilled, and that men not notified of the battle could not have that sort of behavior. Kurou then says it must be the rebel army of that man, and Benaui says "Hakuoro..." Benaui says to not take is seriously, that the intention itself is naive. Kurou says that however, even though they are running from place to place, they are really inclined to fight.

Benaui thinks on this, and then says he now sees it, that all of them are decoys. Kurou says surely not that whole force could be a decoy, and Benaui says they may have another objective, and this is a feint to keep them looking away. Kurou curses and says they've been deceived. Benaui thinks of what they are doing, by making such a large-scale action a decoy, and then realizes that by doing so a small minority at the most is what would be needed to take down gate. He yells out "Tatokori's gate!" and says they may still have enough time.

Benaui turns his white Uoputaru around and calls out that it appears the enemy is trying to take Tatokori's gate, and for everyone to take a rear pincer-attack and annihilate them at once. He rides off and Kurou says "Yes sir!" and tells the others to go get those guys, and they follow after Benaui.

As Benaui is riding, he thinks to himself how Hakuoro did this, and they have discovered about the decoy a little too soon, and now with the way things are going, Hakuoro will be at his end.

~~~~~

Eruruu walks up to Hakuoro and says that on schedule, the decoy attacks have started. Hakuoro says now is the right time, and Eruruu says "Um..." Hakuoro asks her what it is, and she turns her head to the side, saying that again, people are going to die. Hakuoro says yes, and looks at her standing there silently. He tells her that she should leave, but she shakes her head. He says if that is so, then for her to not separate from him. She says yes and he yells, "Depart for the battle front!"

[Battle 6 - Open Tatokori's gate]

His group charges in on Tatokori's gate. They fight against the soldiers and manage to open the gate, and Hakuoro thinks that soon the enemy will have realized that the other forces were a decoy, and then decides they probably already have noticed. He thinks of how now he is relying on Teoro.

Outside in the countryside, Benaui and his men are charging down the road to Tatokori, when up above on the cliff, Teoro starts an avalanche of rocks which fall, blocking the road. After the rockslide Benaui calls for Kurou, not seeing him, and he calls out that he's there on the other side, he made it across safely. Benaui says this deception is going to make it very hard for them to get across, and Kurou says he will go alone; he is angry and won't be made the fool, and seriously wants to kill them. Benaui says alright then, and Kurou rides off.

Back at the gate, Hakuoro and his teammates continuing fighting against the soldiers at the gate. After a little while Kurou suddenly appears, cursing how he is late. Hakuoro says "You are..." and Kurou says he is Kurou, and to remember it. Oboro exclaims "How did that man!?" and Kurou says "that man" is his general, and asks if they think he has to be especially present. He says Oboro is the "kid" that gets heated easily and has little ability, and Oboro says he'd better not think of that again. Kurou says to then show him, and starts his attack. Kurou sets in on Hakuoro, saying he's a very dangerous man, and that his general is the same. He says until his general shows up, he is enough, and Oboro says that's just words and attacks.

[Battle 6 - Defeat Kurou]

The group fight against Kurou and finally he is defeated. He says they have raised their abilities a bit, and that today he was at a disadvantage and will withdraw. Oboro says he can't just run away, and Kurou gives off a yell and swings his sword at Oboro, and with a clash of metal, he just barely blocks it and recoils. Kurou then says bye and takes off.

Hakuoro says that it is finished, and it is time for them to withdraw for the day, and they successfully held out together against the opposition, though there there is no change in their conquest.

~~~~~

Emperor Inkara yells for Benaui, who enters at his calling. He says how dare he show his impudient face to him, after running back like an animal dragging its tail. Benaui starts to say that it was to the best of his ability, when Inkara says that Nuwangi has gained control over Chienma. Benaui says the villagers of Chienma did not join the rebellion, and Sasante laughs and says it is best to pick the sprout of evil when it is small, and as an example and warning to others, they were eliminated. Benaui's face turns sour and he asks Inkara if he understands what he has done. Inkara says that what he does, is to be done his way. Benaui protests saying that the basis of a country is it's people, and and there will be no country if the people consisting of it are eliminated, and there is no tomorrow for a country that neglects it's own people. Inkara says he is the one to say there is no tomorrow, and Benaui says if because his lordship says so, then it is so.

Inkara says he has had enough, and so far he has pardoned Benaui's words because of his distiguished military service, but now he is shameless and ungrateful and he isn't going to endure it any longer. Inkara calls out for any of his men, and a soldier steps forward. He tells him to take Benaui to the jail. The soldier starts to say "But..." and Inkara asks if he wishes to not do as he says, and the soldier stutters that isn't the case.

Nuwangi enters and tells Inkara that they are excellent words. He asks if he really thinks so, and Nuwangi says that of course, they are the words of the Great Emperor and his uncle. He shouts at the soldier to quickly bind the person of humble rank, unless he wishes to join him. The soldier says yes and starts to do as told, and starts to lead Benaui away. Nuwangi tells his uncle to leave the situation to him, so that the can have some peace of mind. He agrees and says he will leave it to Nuwangi.

Nuwangi takes Benaui down to the dungeons. He laughs, telling Benaui it is now his end, but Benaui remains coldly silent. Nuwangi says that he'd be a fool to talk back to him. He says that it's over for him and now he's in charge, and the shoves him into the dried food storage room and locks him in. He thinks to himself about how it is almost time, soon Eruruu will be his and he will take the Imperial throne, and no one will defy his absolute power. To him, there is only her, and he will do anything to obtain her, anything. He breaks out into more laughter.

Nuwangi walks outside, rising up on the steps to speak out to army. He says it has finally been accomplished, they are now his army. He says he will defeat anyone who is a hindrance, anyone, and sounds out the bells of attack.

~~~~~

In the meeting building back in Hakuoro's village, Dorii and Guraa step forward, saying they have come with a report. The enemy's march has been confirmed, with approximately 1,200 men. Hakuoro repeats "1,200..." and people all around can be heard murmuring. Oboro says it sounds like they plan to destroy their whole army in one blow. Hakuoro says it is daring behavior to move the whole army at once, and that he thought Benaui was a much more careful man. Dorii tells him that Nuwangi is the enemy's general. Eruruu looks concerned at hearing this, and Hakuoro says he sees.

Teoro asks Hakuoro what they should do. Hakuoro says that with a large army at once, they need a way to unexpectedly reduse their numbers, especially since the difference in numbers between themselves and the enemy is large, and would therefore have a large effect. Hakuoro says that however, they have made a mistake in that they are slow-moving and by chosing there to attack. He says that a group is to make a detour from the west gate, and then strike at the enemy from the rear. He says the Perierai (archers) are to be backing to the left and right, and the main unit will defend the main gate until the enemy is in place.

He tells everyone to depart for the front.

~~~~~

[Battle 7 - Hold back the enemy forces for a fixed amount of time]

Hakuoro and his allies stand on the bridge in front of the main gate to the village.
Hakuoro says the enemy is coming, and they need to hold them off right around the bridge, and to not go out too much.

The soldiers start to slowly come pouring in, but they hold ground on the bridge, keeping the enemy from crossing. Nuwangi comes into the area and notes how unexpectedly stubborn they are being, but they'll have them soon. Hakuoro says it is now time, and a soldier comes up to Nuwagi telling him that they have been encircled. Nuwangi curses and says he can see that, and punches the soldier. When he tries to ask why he punches him again and tells him to shut up, then hits him again and says they are going to have to retreat and rebuild the situation. A soldier asks where they are to run away to, and Nuwangi says they aren't running away, they are just recovering the situation, and to penetrate through
the rear forces. The soldier says to do so now, there will be much damage, and Nuwangi says they are going to take even more damage staying there. Nuwangi orders them to go, to break through at once.

Hakuoro then gives the order "Position steel!" and soldiers come forward out of the main gate, archers behind them. Then he says "Position spears!" and their Uoputaru lancers, with archers behind them, come out from the sides. Nuwangi's men take off in a mad dash, and he asks where they are going and to wait, but he is left there. Nuwangi starts to get angry, and then sees Eruruu standing with Hakuoro and his men, and starts fuming, saying that it's all because of Hakuoro, and he will kill him no matter what.

[Battle 7 - Defeat Nuwangi]

They fight Nuwangi, and as Hakuoro attacks, he says that as long as there no longer is him, and Hakuoro tells him victory is already theirs and to give up. Nuwangi tells him to shut up, that he is the one that gives the orders. Overpowered, Nuwangi is defeated, and Dorii and Guraa say that the enemy has withdrawn. Hakuoro says they have already won, and to not chase after them.

The capture Nuwangi and bring him into the city. Nuwangi asks about his army, and Teoro says in the end they all deserted him. Nuwangi starts laughing, and tells them to kill him. Oboro unsheathes his blades and tells Nuwangi to prepare himself, and then Hakuoro tells him to stop.

Eruruu comes forward. Nuwangi tells her to go ahead and laugh at him, since she has a grudge against him over her grandmother. She hits him and calls him an idiot, and asks why he doesn't understand. She said that things like beautiful clothes, fancy ornaments, and a luxerious life were not things necessary for her. Even if they are poor it is good, that everyone lives together happily. She asks if he has completely forgotten those times in the past, and says that the clumsy, unsophisticated, and gentle Nuwangi of back then, she liked. She starts crying, and says he really is a fool.

Nuwangi says he only wants to be with her, and see her happiness. She says now, there is no happiness. He asks what he can do. She is silent for a moment, then comes forward and unties him. She says there is no good in holding resentment, and doesn't not want to have a grudge. He looks at her silently, and she says goodbye.

~~~~~

That night, Nuwangi is traveling alone outside of the village, thinking about what
happened. He says to himself that he is going to request a stop put to this war, and do what he can to stop it, because that is the least he can do for her. Then an arrow comes out of the darkness and strikes him, and he falls.

A voice says that it looks like they have found a rare jewel. Another voice says not to think like that, they only want the thing taken from them returned. The first voice says talk is idle, and to help strip him or they'll decrease the share. The second person notes that he is still alive, and then the first person recognizes him as the Omutsuikeru general, and that his neck probably has a big reward on it with the rebel army, and then they can say goodbye to their current life.

Nuwangi starts to come too, murmuring "Eruruu...", when he is beheaded by the strangers.

~~~~~

The map of Kenashirukouru country is shown. The enemy force, having received such a harsh blow has lost control, and Hakuoro's army has now expanded its power into a crushing force. The small green section of the map representing Hakuoro's forces expands over the map, swallowing up the red forces of the enemy. The superiority and inferiority has become clear, and not only villages, but also some feudal lords and powerful clans have come together to fight on Hakuoro's side.

It is night, and Kurou sneaks down into the dungeons and opens up Benaui's cell, saying he has come to get him. Benaui asks him what the progress of the war is. Kurou says that their army that was being run by Nuwangi has been defeated, in many places completely annihilated. He says as for Nuwangi himself, he's been killed but the circumstances of how are unknown. The rebel army is massing its troops and quickly approaching the capital. Benaui asks what the Emperor is doing, and Kurou says he is in the middle of having his hair done, that recently a lot has been falling out, making him furious, and he has said he does not wish to be disturbed.

Benaui says he sees, then orders that the whole army depart for the front. Kurou asks if he thinks that is such a good idea. Benaui says that the collapse of the country may already be inevitable, but for now they must defend their country. He says he is still this country's Omutsuikeru general, and has an obligation to his country. He tells Kurou to go tell all the soldiers, and that if the situation becomes that they are outnumbered, they are to surrender at once. He then says they should go, this will be the last fight.

~~~~~

Hakuoro and his allies arrive in the capital, finding Kurou in their path on the other
side of the street. He says that finally they have showed up, he was growing tired of waiting. Soldiers step out from around the houses, and Kurou and his forces begin an attack.

[Battle 8 - Defeat Kurou]

They fight, and Kurou says he will not let them pass, and Oboro says that if he won't let them past, then they just knock him down.

Hakuoro and his friends eventually defeat Kurou and his men. Wounded, Kurou sits on the ground, saying that he has been defeated. He says to go ahead and get on with it, and makes a motion of chopping his head off by bringing the side of his hand down on the back of his neck. Hakuoro says that sort of thing is not needed. Kurou says it is the proper etiquette of a soldier to carry out taking the head of the enemy. Hakuoro says unfortunately, they aren't soldiers, and therefore a soldier's etiquette is not necessary. Kurou says that if he somehow survives, he could stab them in the back later, and Hakuoro says Kurou thinks only as a man that follow's the soldier's ettiquete.

Hakuoro tells everyone to go, and they start to leave, passing by Kurou. On his way out, Oboro stops in front of Kurou and says that even if he wants to die so badly, he's better not kill himself. Eruruu and Aruruu are then the only ones to leave, but Eruruu stops in front of Kurou. He asks her what it is, and she tells him not to move, so she can treat the wound. Kurou says she shouldn't trust him, he could easily turn her into a hostage with her getting so close. She says she does not want to see him die. He is silent, and she heals him. She says she is finished, and he thanks her. She leaves, and he mumbles under his breath how he really did fail the general. Aruruu and Mukkkuru come up to him and he asks her what it is. She says that the wound heals when it is licked. Mukkuru smiles, and starts licking the wound, and Kurou screams, saying the tongue hurts, smelling of blood and meat and burning the wound.

~~~~~

Inside the palace, Inkara asks what all the noice is, how dare his nap be interrupted. There is a large boom outside, and he looks outside to see Hakuoro's men trashing the capital. He asks when this happened, and Benaui enters and says the rebel army has just broken the castle gate, and it will only be a matter of time now until they fall.

Inkara asks what Benaui is doing there, and asks what happened to Nuwangi. Benaui says that regrettably, Nuwangi was defeated in the previous battle, but his whereabouts are still unknown. Inkara says he was a good-for-nothing, and orders a wholesale slaughter, to exterminate the dirty enemy quickly. Benaui says they cannot be stopped by his army, and that surrendering is only a matter of time. Inkara says "What?!" as a clumps of his hair start falling out. He says they just need to go stabbing person after person and his army will be victorious in the end. Benaui makes a sour face and says then that he will have all his soldiers die, and Inkara says it is their job to lay down their lives for him, and to go to it quickly. Benaui says "As you wish..." and leaves.

~~~~~

Hakuoro and his men approach the castle. Benaui stands on the front steps, and Hakuoro asks if he has been waiting for them. Oboro runs up to him and Hakuoro tells him to wait, but he ignores him and lets out a battle cry, attacking Benaui, who blocks it with his spear and sends Oboro recoiling from the block. Hakuoro tells Oboro to step back, but Oboro says that this man is his catch. Benaui says that he's a hindrance, and to step back, that his fun playing with him has already ended, and tells them to retreat. Oboro gets mad at hearing "playing" and says "Who's playing?! Don't make fun of me!" Hakuoro tells him again to step back, and Oboro refuses, saying Benaui is his. Hakuoro angrily tells Oboro again, and finally, with much effort and a grit of his teeth, Oboro says he understands and steps back.

Benaui says they have finally come here, and Hakuoro tells him to please surrender. Benaui says it is regrettable, but refuses. Benaui asks Hakuoro if he will tell him just one last thing, and asks him just who (what sort of person) he is. Hakuoro says "What?" and Benaui smiles, and then says no, he doesn't want to hear it.

A bunch of soldiers then come out of the castle to back up Benaui, and he says this is the end. Hakuoro says "Let's go!" and they engage into battle.

[Battle 9 - Defeat Benaui]

They start to fight, and Hakuoro says it is Benaui's nature to continue, and Benaui says that as long as there is hope for the emperor. Hakuoro says that though he says that it is belief, he seems reluctant.

Oboro attacks Benaui and Benaui asks if he's raised his abilities a little, and Oboro
says he'll confirm it for him, and Benaui says he can't allow to go easy on him today, and Oboro says "Very good!"

The fight continues until Benaui is finally defeated. At his defeat he turns and runs into the palace, and Oboro says to wait, he can't run away. Hakuoro tells Oboro not to follow him. Oboro tries to protest, but Hakuoro says he may not chase him, and then wonders about Benaui.

~~~~~

Inside the castle, Inkara is grumbling, when he hears something and demands for whomever it is to come out. He wonders why no one is there, and calls again for them to come out. Finally someone enters and it is Benaui, who says he has come to see him. Inkara says he has been waiting, and asks for the progress of the battle, of course his army is victorious. Benaui says he is sorry to inform him that they have been defeated. Inkara says "What?!" and Benaui says that at this point in the battle, there is no way to overturn things, it is only a matter of time before they gather inside.

Inkara says he can't believe they'd fail, and calls for defense, but Benaui says there aren't any, everyone has surrendered. The only left remaining are himself and the Emperor. Inkara says he has been betrayed, and there is a loud explosion outside. Inkara says he's going to hurry and run away, and Benaui asks him where he is going to run away to, they are completely surrounded. Benaui says that perhaps they will put his head on public display at his sentencing. Inkara asks how this could become of him, and Benaui says he did things
like that often because he liked things being done his way. Benaui says it will be soon, but he's sure that with the sort of dying pride an emperor has, he probably doesn't want to let that happen, and asks if he instead wishes to do hara-kiri, and he will assist him.

Inkara says he'd dare say such a thing when he swore loyalty to him, and Benaui says that he did not swear loyalty to him, but to their country. He says he wishes peace and prosperity for their country, and he took pride in that as his mission. He said he followed the Emperor because it was essential to keep peace, even if temporary. Benaui says that with the suppression to the rebel army, the war there will stop, as they have already sacrificed too many. Now, maybe their country will be led by a good person in confidence. He says that now, for their country's tomorrow and happiness, they must disappear.

Inkara says he does not want to die yet, there are still wonderful things to eat, and beautiful things to play with, why should he meet such a fate when he is not a bad person. Benaui is silent for a moment and then asks if he really has not noticed how he brought their country to ruin, even now when it is too late. He yells no and Benaui says he should look at his ugly behavior, and that in the end, the emperor should bravely die. He shouts "No!" over and over, and Benaui says there is no way, and it will be assumed his last honorable duty to send him off by his own hand. He says to pass in peace at this moment, and then stabs Emperor Inkara, killing him.

Shortly after, Hakuoro and his allies enter the throne room. Benaui says that as they can see, the emperor is dead. Hakuoro says "You..." and Benaui says that for this country's future, he asks a favor. He gives Hakuoro his blade and waits, but Hakuoro doesn't kill him. He asks if he is not allowed to die, and Hakuoro says it seems to be his nature to run away selfishlessly, and he has to ascertain his responsibility to the end. Benaui says he is then to live in disgrace, and Hakuoro tells him that is right. Benaui says he understands, and respects Hakuoro.

Hakuoro says it is finally able to end, after such a painful time. He says they must
return, and to return together, and Eruruu says yes. Oboro says everyone is waiting outside, and they must be informed of what has happened, and Hakuoro says he will go for a moment to tell them.

~~~~~

In the game, Hakuoro looked to be even a better tactian than in the anime. And the way they portrated Eruru discussion with Nuwangi was better too. It's a shame they didn't animated that part, prefering to make her give just a cold treatment.

Part 6

In the kingdom of the winged-people, Onkamiyamukai, the high priest, Munto, is
speaking with the emperor, Waabe, on foreign affairs. Munto says that Kenashirukouru was defeated and their country has come to an end. Waabe says he wonders what kind of person the emperor of this new country is. Munto says the new country is called "Tousukuru." Waabe asks for the emperor's name, and Munto apologizes and says he doesn't know. Waabe says it will be good if he is a wise emperor. Waabe then tells Munto to dispatch the delegation, and he will leave it to him.

A woman's voice then says, "Oruyankuru" (High Priest). The woman who spoke, Urutorii, the princess, enters. She says she would like to make a request in this matter, and Emperor Waabe says it is unusual for her to make a request, and to please state it. She says that she wishes to go with Munto and the delegation to the ceremony for the new emperor. Munto immediately protests, saying it is too dangerous, it's a ground that has been disturbed by war and could still be in chaos. They don't know what kind of man the new emperor is, and there could be a revolt. She smiles and says he worries too much, but he shouldn't because she is no longer a child.

Waabe says that since she is the Kamunagi (Priestess), he will not say anything, and she may do as she likes. She thanks him, and Munto asks how he could give such firm approval. She then tells Munto that he'd better start getting ready and leaves, as he calls "Princess!" after her.

The screen goes black, and the sound of a girl's voice laughing is heard. She says that it's a good thing she heard about this, and then the sound of wings flapping is heard.

~~~~~

Back at the capital of Tousukuru, Hakuoro says that finally it's over. Benaui comes to him and says he has the estimates for the food and clothing distribution for the
reconstruction of the people, and hopes that Hakuoro will look it over immediately. Benaui also says that there will be an appearance ceremony for the clans to show their loyalty and express their gratitude. In the new country's law enactment, they need to raise back the economy in a repair plan and need someone in an official position over that; the recultivation of farmland will need a plan and a driving force behind it.

Benaui then gets on his knees in a bow to Hakuoro, and says he bows to him. Hakuoro asks why he would do such a thing, and Benaui says it is because he is the emperor. Hakuoro is in a stunned silence for a moment, then says why should he have to be emperor. Benaui says that he has incited the people with encouragement, and it is his responsibility to the people. He says now that the old emperor is gone, powerful clans may dispute for domination, or they could be invaded by a foreign country, and their country would end up in another whirlpool of war disturbances again. Now that Hakuoro has given encouragement to the people, he can't just leave business unsettled and abandon them. He tells Hakuoro to please decide to take the responsibility.

Kurou and Oboro both enter and each say they need to speak with Hakuoro. Oboro and Kurou look at each other and Oboro says he will wait and to go ahead, and Kurou says he will go after Oboro says what he needs to say. Oboro says that the Rakusharai (calvarymen) should be increased. Kurou says that mobile power is important to controlling the war situation, and therefore they need to build a bigger stable for the Uoputaru.

Oboro thinks this isn't an important issue at the time, that is the soldiers that should be a priority, and Kurou gets mad and says it would then be a waste to increase the number of soldiers, and he isn't thinking of both sides of a battle. Oboro says the main point should be taking care of soldiers, not making a stable which could years. Kurou argues that putting the effort into raising excellent Uoputaru is necessary to complete the army, and Oboro asks how many years would be wasted on that, when right now they need to ready their man power and improve their techniques. They continue to argue about who is right, insulting each other, until Hakuoro finally interrupts and tells them they are wasting their breath arguing instead of trying to understand each other. Hakuoro says
both of their views are good ones. This shuts them up and they say they understand and leave. Hakuoro thinks how honestly it feels like if it isn't one thing, than it's another.

The interrupted over, Benaui smiles and says he wishes to express his gratitude from the heart. He says that he has been a general for the country, and if the emperor needs him, he will serve until his life has ended. Hakuoro says that is only natural, and to let him get away and think for a moment. Outside however, Oboro and Kurou are still arguing with each other, so Hakuoro comes right back in and says Benaui will work for him, and Benaui tells him not to worry.

~~~~~

[Visit outside]

Teoro and the villagers show up outside the castle, and Hakuoro is surprised they have returned from the village. Teoro says just for the moment, they can put aside working in the field. Hakuoro is silent for a moment, then says everyone has come there, to bring things to a close. Teoro says "Anchan" (brother) like he has always called Hakuoro, then says he should no longer call Hakuoro that. Hakuoro says that even now, being called Anchan is fine, and Teoro thanks him. Teoro says that even though it's painful, they can't stay with him. They were born in the village, raised in the village, and will die there. Hakuoro says he understands and he would as well if he could.

Teoro says they have come now to have some fun, and the other villagers say they have brought sake. He thanks everyone. Teoro says "To good spirits!", and a villager says "To good health!" as they drink, and Hakuoro says everyone is in such good spirits.

Sopoku comes over to Eruruu and hands her something, saying that she is giving it to Eruruu. Eruruu says that it is something that Sopoku-neesan values deeply, and Sopoku says it is fine so long as Eruruu now values it from now on. Sopoku then tells Aruruu to not eat anything strange that will hurt her stomach, and to be good and do what her older sister and Hakuoro say. Aruruu nods, and Sopoku says the two of them are in good spirits.

Hakuoro thinks about how nice it was everyone came back for this. He tells Eruruu and Aruruu to not be lonely, and Eruruu agrees, the two trying to hide how they are really feeling a bit sad.

~~~~~

[Visit Eruruu's room]

Hakuoro goes to visit Eruruu and Aruruu's new quarters at the palace. Eruruu and Aruruu are busy setting things up, unpacking, and putting things away. He looks around and notes to himself how their rooms are looking very much settled. He sees some of Tousukuru's tools, and Eruruu asks if he could carry them in. Eruruu says she needs to get accustomed to using them, because they were her grandma's.

Hakuoro asks if there is anything else he can do to help, and she says she's finished, and that she will go make some tea. He says he doesn't want to intrude, but she says it is really no trouble, smiling at him. He thinks to himself, "Tousukuru-san, those children are in good spirits", as if telling her they are doing fine.

Aruruu jumps out and grabs Hakuoro, and he says she surprised him and asks what she wants. She says "Let's go." He looks confused and then Eruruu comes out with an annoyed expression, asking where she is going. Aruruu says she wants to go out and play with Otousan, and she says they haven't even had a cup of tea yet. Hakuoro asks if he can have a cup and she stutters, not having finished yet, and he laughs at her reaction and asks if he can help. Blushing, she agrees.

~~~~~

Dorii and Guraa enter Hakuoro's workroom and say that messengers from Onkamiyamukai have come to introduce themselves, and wish to have an audience with Emperor Hakuoro. They ask him what he would like them to do. Benaui notes how they've already come, surely because the "Arbitrator" takes pride in being quick, and he asks Hakuoro what he will do.

Hakuoro is extremely confused about this talk of "Onkamiyamukai" and "Arbitrator", and asks Benaui to explain. Benaui says that Onkamiyamukai is a country founded and controlled by the Onkamiyaru race, and is said to be the oldest country. He says it is better to refer to it not as the country, but as "Uitsuarunemitea", the Head Temple located there. Hakuoro asks him about Uitsuarunemitea, and Benaui looks at him dumbfounded, and Hakuoro asks if he's said something strange. Benaui says no and goes on to explain: The names of their Gods are part of the doctrine of Uitsuarunemitea, the great God over the other gods, and therefore it is deeply rooted into their lives. The ceremonies of birth (Akkun), attaining adulthood (Koporo), marriage (Hashieku), and death (Hahara), are all done under the name of Uitsuarunemitea. They are born as believers in the word of Uitsuarunemitea.

The Head Temple of Onkamiyamukai assumes the role of mediation to prevent misfortune between the countries and their tribes. Therefore, it looks out for various places, and interferes if necessary. He says that their visit is most likely to ascertain the situation there and the new emperor. Benaui tells him that previously, the interjection with Onkamiyamukai has been refused.

Hakuoro decides he should meet with them, and tell Dorii and Guraa to show them in. They leave, and Eruruu enters with tea. He tells her he can't have any now because they have guests, and they leave to the throne room.

At the throne room, it is announced that Hakuoro is entering. Urutorii tells him that she has come under the delegation of the High Priest (the Oruyankuru, who is Munto), and that she is Urutorii, and says since they are not aquainted, she gives her best regards. Hakuoro looks at her, noting that she is only with one attendant, and that with her golden hair, and the gracefulness of each gesture, it feels like seeing a work of art. Her companion comes forward and says he is Munto.

Hakuoro says they have traveled a long distance, and invites them to his home. Benaui comes forward and announces himself as Benaui, the Retainer, and that it is an honor for the Princess Urutorii to come, and that they are very grateful. Hakuoro thinks "Princess?" to himself, then says they should end such formal greetings, he wants them to feel at home. Hakuoro wonders if the princess really has come on inspection as Benaui said, especially to such a small and remote country.

He asks her why she, being the Princess, has come to his country, and she says for friendship. He asks "Friendship?" and she says yes, that they wish for friendship with their country. Therefore, she wants to understand him and has come, and hopes that he will understand them.

Eruruu enters and says she's brought some rough tea, if that is alright. Munto questions "There is rough tea?" and she looks nervous. He mutters an apology and says it appears they have been welcomed and they shouldn't look impolite. Urutorii has some and says it is delicious, and Eruruu is too modest. Munto says it's nice of them and they mean no misunderstanding or ill-nature. Urutorii tells Eruruu that she's a very cute maid. Eruruu looks shocked at hearing this, and then sad. Hakuoro says she isn't a maid, but family. Urutorii then apologizes, saying she must be the Empress. She blushes and stammers, and Hakuoro says that he is a bachelor, she is like a little sister, and laughs. She looks sad as he says this.

Some time passes, and Hakuoro tells them that if it is alright, he wishes them to stay there for a while. He says that though they are working on establishing the country, they will give the utmost hospitality. Munto says that is very polite, but-- and then Urutorii cuts him off and says she will accept their kindness and stay awhile if it is no trouble. Munto says "Princess...", not very happy with this decision. Hakuoro says he will have a room prepared for them at once, and she says she wishes to express her gratitude. Hakuoro says he has some things he must finish by the end of the day, and asks Eruruu if she will guide them. Eruruu stammers, saying she doesn't understand formal etiquette, looking nervous. Hakuoro asks Benaui to request a guard and he nods, and Eruruu calms and agrees.

~~~~~

[Visit living room]

Hakuoro is worrying about finishing up the remaining work as he passes by in the hallway, when he hears a strange sound. He wonders what the sound is, and it seems to be coming from his room. He enters to find a girl sleeping in his bed. He looks at her, noticing her silver hair, and that she seems quite beautiful despite the drool dripping from her sleeping face. He thinks how she looks about a year or two older than Aruruu, and has wings of obsidian black on her back; wings, just like the Onkamiyaru race.

He wonders what she is doing in his bed, and pokes her shoulder. She doesn't wake, so he taps her several more times. She still won't wake, so he starts shaking her, telling her to wake up. She mumbles "Just a little longer, Sister..." He continues to shake her, trying to wake her, and again she says "Just another minute" and he says it's already been another minute. She finally opens her eyes, and he says good morning. She says good morning and looks at him through sleepy eyes, asks "Sister, why is this person here?" Hakuoro says he isn't her sister. She mumbles, then is silent as she looks at him, and suddenly jumps up.

She moves over into the corner of the room, trying to escape his gaze, surprise on her face. She moves over, and his eyes follow her. She scoots over into the other corner, and he continues watching her. She sweatdrops and says she's been seen, and he thinks of what a strange girl she is. She says a few things in a strange language, and then there is a humming sound and a burst of white light from her hands. She says that should take care of it, and mumbles of how it'll terrible if her sister finds out she followed. Hakuoro says "Sister?" and she jumps, saying "You can still see me?" and he says that's very obvious, wondering why she'd say that.

Hakuoro repeats "Older sister", and then asks if she is Urutorii's younger sister. She says no, that Kamyu is Urutorii's younger sister. He asks if she is Kamyu, but she doesn't answer, and then he asks what she was doing sleeping in his room, and why isn't she with her sister. He asks if she was trying not to be exposed, and perhaps followed her sister silently. She says that isn't it, they came together. He asks if that's so, and she says it is, laughing nervously, and then he says that she is Urutorii's sister then, and she realizes she's been tricked into admitting it.

He asks how she was able to enter the Imperial Palace without being noticed, as it is heavily guarded. She says she concealed herself like a shadow, then stops and repeats "Imperial Palace?", asking if it really it. Hakuoro says it is, and then she says "Then this old man is the Emperor?" Hakuoro falters at the word "old", but then says that he is for the time being. She's silent for a moment, then laughs nervously and floats back away from him. She quickly says goodbye and heads off down the hall.

Hakuoro thinks he should return, then hears her cry down the hall says "What is that?!" He wonders what "that" is, and he notices her run into a room and take cover inside a clothes basket, shutting the lid. With an "Uo?" Mukkuru enters the hall, and the clothes basket shifts a bit. Hakuoro then realizes what "that" is. Mukkuru moves around the room, sniffing, and stops in front of the clothes basket. The basket moves around a bit, and noticing it, Mukkuru paws at it, and she yelps from inside. Mukkuru grins and starts swatting at the basket, thinking it must be some kind of toy that makes noise when it is beaten, and purrs as she continues to yell.

Aruruu's voice from somewhere outside calls "Mukkuru!" and hearing it, she leaves her new plaything. Kamyu then crawls out, disheveled, some cleaning rags hanging off of her. She asks what was that, and Hakuoro says it is just Mukkuru who stays in his home. Aruruu and Mukkuru then come over, and she flops down on the ground, snorting her nose at Aruruu. Aruruu tells Mukkuru she's a good girl and pets her, and Mukkuru purrs. Kamyu watches the scene in stunned silence. Aruruu looks up, and she and Kamyu look at each other. Kamyu then says she is Kamyu, and Aruruu who she is. Aruruu is silent and then quickly runs away, and Kamyu laughs nervously, saying maybe she doesn't like her.

Eruruu calls Hakuoro's name and comes in, and he asks what she needs. She says that Urutorii needs to talk to him right now. She enters and says she is very sorry for wasting his precious time, and asks if a girl with silver hair has been disturbing him. She says a moment ago she had a feeling, having felt a familiar surge of power that she is familiar with. He hears a rummaging sound, and looks back over to the clothes basket where it is coming from. It starts to slowly float back, and Urutorii tells her to come out. She comes out of her hiding place, laughing nervously.

Urutorii asks her what she is doing there, she had told her to stay back home and take care of things, but she hid herself and followed them. Kamyu makes a pouting face and says that Urutorii got to go, and it wasn't fair. She says she has come as a messenger from Onkamiyamukai, not here to play. Kamyu continues to pout, saying it is boring with her sister gone, and Urutorii says it is hopeless with this child.

Urutorii tells Hakuoro that she is terribly sorry for her sister's rudeness, and for
sneaking into the Imperial Palace without permission. She says it is her responsibility for being careless with her supervision, and says that she will accept the punishment, but to be leniant on her sister. Kamyu starts to protest, but Hakuoro says that he understands and not to worry, that she is also welcomed as a guest there. Urutorii thanks him for being so generous, and Kamyu says thank you, looking happy. Urutorii says she shouldn't be spoiled by others, and Kamyu says that isn't the case, she followed, arrived, and then was attacked.

Urutorii calls out and tells Munto to enter, and asks him to look after Kamyu while she is here. He agrees, and tells the younger princess to go with him. She protests to her sister, saying that he's so boring, as he drags her away. Urutorii excuses herself and leaves.

Hakuoro says that the princess of Onkamiyamukai is very skillful, to be "attacked" and still get in. Eruruu is quiet for a moment, then says that is true, and with a sweatdrop, laughs.

~~~~~

[Visit Eruruu's room]

Urutorii goes to Eruruu's room and asks if it is alright if she comes in for a little
while. Eruruu, a little flustered, says by all means, but feels that such a place is
inadequite. Urutorii tells her it is a wonderful room, and that the smell there is very nostalgic.

Urutorii says, "Well, Eruruu-sama..." and Eruruu looks surprised, and says there is no need for her to say "sama" to her. Urutorii asks why, and Eruruu says that is because there is such a big difference in social standing between herself and Urutorii-sama. Urutorii says what she is saying is absurd, even if she is from the shrine of Uitsuarunemitea, it is meaningless to determining the position of a person, and therefore, she doesn't want Eruruu to feel uneasy. Eruruu tries to protest, and Urutorii says that Eruruu is Emperor Hakuoro's relative, so she is also royalty, so to speak, and therefore there is no problem. She says that she will call Eruruu by her first name, "Eruruu", only if Eruruu calls her "Uruto". Eruruu says that she can't do that, so Urutorii says then that Eruruu-sama is fine, and Eruruu finally gives in and says yes.

Some time passes, and Urutorii asks Eruruu if she is "Tousukuru." Eruruu says no, and asks if Urutorii knows of her grandmother. Urutorii says that to someone who has once aspired at the medical arts, there isn't a person who hasn't heard of Tousukuru. She says that her medical threatment methods are often practiced. She says that Tousukuru is Eruruu's grandmother then, and it is regrettable, because she wanted to talk to her, and receive oral instruction from her. Eruruu turns her head to the side, and Urutorii apologizes and says that she has said something insensitive. Eruruu puts on a smile and says it is fine, that her grandmother would scold her if she went on feeling sad forever.

There is a rustle of cloth, as Urutorii reaches and pulls Eruruu into her arms, hugging her. Without saying anything, she starts stroking her head in understanding. Eruruu looks confused for a moment, but then buries her face against Urutorii's chest.

From outside on the porch, Hakuoro can hear Eruruu crying. He thinks to himself that he thought she had already completely recovered, then realizes that there is no reason it should be so, he was only trying to convince himself otherwise. He then thinks of what a fool he is.

[Visit workroom]

Hakuoro is interrupted when Kamyu slips in. He asks if she's already gotten out of being grounded to her room. She stammers, saying of course she has, and he looks at her doubtfully. She ascertains it is really true and sweatdrops. Hakuoro notices her stammering and how she keeps averting her eyes, thinking about what a bad liar she is. He says that he was going to ask the High Priest to pardon the grounding, and she looks excited and asks really, and he says that it isn't necessary now though. She sweatdrops and says that isn't exactly the case, and then he says that she did sneak out after all. Kamyu says that she had to stay in and study all morning long, and therefore wanted to go out for just a little bit.

Hakuoro says he can understand, he has the same sort of situation in his home. At this thought, a scene outside is shown: Benaui and Oboro are having a battle, and Oboro yells out, "A chance!" and attacks, and is blocked. Benaui tells him he lost it by foolishly yelling out that there was a chance. Kurou laughs and says that now he's gotten angry. Benaui turns on him and says his name and Kurou sweatdrops. Benaui says that this is a good opportunity and for the two of them to sit down. They both sweatdrop, and Oboro asks why him, and Kurou says he has a little urgent business he must do. Benaui won't let them get away and says they'd better listen, and then starts into a lecture about the war. The two are left helpless, being forced to sit quietly through the lecture.

Hakuoro asks if it is really safe for her to slip out, that the look in her eyes doesn't
seem convincing. She laughs and says she'll be alright, while back in her room at that moment, Munto is in hysterics trying to find her. Kamyu looks around restlessly and asks Hakuoro if by chance, that child is there. Hakuoro asks what child, and she says the one with the huge companion. Hakuoro says that is Aruruu, and if that is who she means. Kamyu nods, and says she'd like to make friends with her.

Hakuoro says that he will help her out in this matter, and teach her the secret method. They go outside, and he shows her to a beehive. He tells her to smell it, and she asks if this is really food, it's all dirty and sticky. He tells her that the inside is really sweet and delicious, and it's even better when eaten together; to make friends with Aruruu, eating the honey from the hive together is the beginning. She asks if this will really make them friends, and he says "Of course," though under his breath he says "Perhaps..." and she asks if he said something, and he says no. She then asks if the big one bites, that surely it would kill her. Hakuoro says she'll be safe, Mukkuru is normally very docile, then adds under his breath except in battle when she eats people to death. Kamyu asks what he said, and he claims nothing. She says she feels very uneasy, and then a loud growl is heard in the distance. Hakuoro tells her they are coming, then tells her good luck and leaves. She tells him to wait and not leave her by herself, but he is already gone.

Aruruu and Mukkuru come by, and Kamyu nervously approaches Aruruu and holds out the beehive, asking her to eat. Hakuoro, from the porch balcony, watches them at the distance, noting how he could see Aruruu looking around the surroundings, filled with temptation. Mukkuru then comes forward and starts sniffing Kamyu. He sees Kamyu writhing, looking very nervous. Mukkuru then sorts against the back of her neck and she squeels. The tiger makes a confused face, while Kamyu chants "Self-preservation" over and over.

Aruruu looks at her silently, and again Kamyu, stuttering, asks if she'll eat, showing the hive. Aruruu very timidly reaches out toward it, then snatches the hive and pulls it away. Kamyu looks sad, and then Aruruu stops and comes back, and holds out the hive, saying "Let's eat together." Kamyu looks surprised, and then despite being scared of the moving larva inside the hive, reaches in and tries some of the honey. She smiles and says it is delicious, and Aruruu blushes and nods. Mukkuru makes a growl and Kamyu looks worried, and Aruruu tells her it's okay, and then pets Mukkuru, and she smiles like a content kitten, purring. Kamyu asks if it is safe to touch her and if she'll be bitten, and Aruruu assures it is fine and pets Mukkuru, who purrs, and Kamyu laughs happily.

Munto then spots her and shouts "Princess!" She says she's been caught, and Aruruu says they should go. She jumps up onto Mukkuru's back, and then gestures to Kamyu to join her. She gets onto Mukkuru, laughing and shouting for them to go faster, and then she calls out over her shoulder to Munto that she's going off to play for a little while. He calls out "Princess!" dejectedly as she rides off.

Back on the porch, Urutorii says "That girl..." and comes to stand beside Hakuoro. He asks if she saw, and she says yes. Urutorii says that Kamyu has no friends, and Hakuoro is surprised to hear this. Hakuoro says that she looks very cheerful like she would have many friends, and as a princess, did she not have even a few companions to play with. Urutorii says yes, that while she always acts cheerfully, she really has been lonely, and that it has been a long time since she saw Kamyu look that happy.

[Visit porch]

Hakuoro hears the familiar "Oto~san" as Aruruu approaches him. He sees Kamyu with her, and is happy to see it appears they are now fully friends with each other. He asks where they are going, and she says to see Yuzuha. Kamyu says that "Ojisama" should come as well, indicating Hakuoro. He tells them to wait a minute, then questions, "Ojisama?" (Meaning either "uncle" or an older, middle-aged man. Given Hakuoro's reaction, I feel "old man" is more accurate). Kamyu says yes, that if he is Aru-chan's father, then he is an old man. He thinks to himself at least she is saying the more polite "Ojisama" instead of "Ojisan", but still the thought that he's considered an old man keeps going through his
mind.

Aruruu says he should go with them and starts pulling on his arm. Hakuoro says he still has some work to finish up, and for them to go on and he'll meet them there later. Aruruu asks if he means it, and he says he'll be there without fail. She blushes and nods and scampers off. Kamyu says "Bye Ojisama, absolutely!" and he mumbles "Old..." She says that he'd better hurry up and come, and he repeats, "So I'm old..."

Urutorii comes up to him and apologizes, and he says she has a very energetic younger sister. She says yes, that she has a very energetic and cute little sister, and she thinks that at Kamyu's age of pubescence that acting energetic is best, even though Munto seems to think she should act more gracefully. Hakuoro says that Aruruu is intensely shy of strangers, and now that problem seems to be solved, that it's good for her to have a friend near her age with such a cheerful character. Urutorii says that she's glad that they came here.

Eruruu then approaches, calling out "Hakuoro-sa--" but stops when she sees him with Urutorii. He looks at her questioningly, and she sweatdrops and says that it is nothing, and she's sorry for bothering him, and then leaves. He watches her leave, confused.

Eruruu stomps back off through the workroom, where Oboro catches her and asks if she can go tell something to Hakuoro, but she just looks at him upset, huffing, and storms off, and he sweatdrops and stammers that it was nothing, wondering what is going on.

[Visit Yuzuha]

Kamyu and Aruruu are visiting Yuzuha. Hakuoro approaches and can hear them talking inside, Kamyu telling Aruruu that she must peel the skin off a fruit or it will taste bitter, and asking if Yuzuha wants some, laughing. Hakuoro enters and says everyone sounds happy. He sees Aruruu with a sour look on her face and asks her what is wrong, and Kamyu laughs saying that Aru-chan ate the fruit without taking off the skin. She gives one to Yuzuha and tells her she already took the skin off it, and Yuzuha says "Thank you very much" very politely. Kamyu says that they are friends, so she only needs to say "Thanks".

Kamyu then says that they should call each other by nicknames. Yuzuha questions this, and Kamyu says it is because it is an expression of friendship, that shows their close relations, for example, how she calls Aruruu "Aru-chan". She says she should give Ojisama a nickname, perhaps "Haku-Haku" or "Oro-Oro" and Hakuoro says no, he'd rather hold off, and then thinks of how silly "Haku-Haku" sounds. Kamyu says that "Yuzu-Yuzu" for Yuzuha-chan is too common, and after thinking about it, decides on Yuzucchi. Yuzuha is quiet and Kamyu asks if she doesn't like it, and Yuzuha says no, she's really glad.

Eruruu then enters, saying that they are all there. Hakuoro asks if she needs something, and she blushes and looks surprised and says that it is nothing in particular, she just thought they may be there when she couldn't find them anywhere. Yuzuha says that Eruruu-sama needs a nickname, and Eruruu asks what they were talking about. Kamyu says they were talking about nicknames, and Yuzuha and Kamyu start thinking of one for Eruruu. Then Aruruu says "Erungaa" (based on the name of a god of misfortune, Nuguisomu-kami). Eruruu gets ticked and starts chasing Aruruu all over the room.

Yuzuha mutters "Yuzucchi", and then says that Oniisama should have a nickname too. She starts trying to think of something that can be made out of "Oboro", like "Obo-Obo" or "Boro-Boro". Hakuoro tells her to stop thinking, and thinks to himself how hearing something like that from Yuzuha may cause Oboro to resign.

~~~~~

That night, everyone is gathered in Eruruu's room, having dinner. Aruruu asks for seconds, and Eruruu gives her more. Then Oboro and Kurou say they also want more, and then start fighting with each other at the table over one of the left-overs, and Eruruu sweatdrops.

Kamyu eats, and says that it is so much different here. Hakuoro asks what she means by different, as Munto tells her not to talk with her mouth full. She says that here there is no waiter-servant, everyone chats, and everyone asks for seconds and struggles over the side dishes. At the Imperial Palace of Onkamiyamukai, everyone gathers for the meal, the kitchen master prepares it, the waiters bring it in, and the meal is divided out and served. If you chat too much you are scolded, and no one would ever fight over a side dish.

Hakuoro says he likes things this way, with everyone enjoying the meal together, and asks Kamyu if she dislikes it. She says not at all, that she's happy and the food is delicious, she didn't know that a piping hot meal was so good. Eruruu asks if Kamyu's meals are cold then, and she says yes, though they start out warm, and sweatdrops. She says everyone must first pray in front of the meal, and then the poison-tasters must try the food, and it is cold by the time they get to eat. Eruruu looks surprised at the mention of poison-tasters, and Munto says it is only natural because there can't be danger to the Princesses' bodies. Kamyu looks at him sourly and says that even here, he wanted the food tasted for poison. He apologizes to Hakuoro and says he never suspected him, but he can't help but worry. Hakuoro says he doesn't need to feel nervous, and he understands his
concern. Urutorii tells him they should follow this country's customs, as that is good manners.

Kamyu looks happy and asks for seconds, and Eruruu, smiling, gives her more.

~~~~~

The next morning, Hakuoro thinks about the children, how Kamyu and Eruruu will play with each other in the river bed in the forest, how Kamyu will read to Yuzuha in her room, and how Aruruu and Kamyu share the same futon. How even though short, they spend every single day happily.

Urutorii tells Hakuoro thanks for his kindness, even though it was short. He asks if she is returning to her country, and she says yes. She says that if they weren't a bother, she would've liked to stay longer, but she'll put unnecessary worry on everyone if she doesn't return.

Hakuoro says everyone will be lonely, and Urutorii says, "Yes, I..." but is stopped when Yuzuha comes up to her and hands her something, saying it is for the journey. Urutorii says Yuzuha looks very energetic and robust, and she says yes. Then Eruruu comes to Urutorii and says that if it is okay, she made them something to eat on their journey. She turns her gaze away and says that even if it isn't very good, it was all she could do. Urutorii tells her thank you, and that she accepts it gratefully, and Eruruu smiles.

Kamyu tells Aruruu goodbye, and Aruruu looks sad, saying nothing. Kamyu says she was very happy, and glad to make friends with Aru-chan and Yuzucchi, reading books together, napping together, taking baths together, and playing together. She says next time, will she come to play. With tears in her eyes, Kamyu says she'll return again, absolutely return, and Aruruu starts crying and nods.

Urutorii asks Hakuoro if from now on, they could have a long, good association with each other. Hakuoro says it should be he making that request, and for there to be harmony and friendship with each other. Urutorii tells him she gives him the blessing of Uitsuarunemitea, and prays for his safety, and they leave.

Hakuoro stands silently, and Eruruu says that it has become a bit lonely there, and he agrees. Aruruu looks sad, and Yuzuha tells Aru-chan to cheer up, and she nods to her.

~~~~~~

Great development. We got to know more about the gods of Utawarerumono and more about the characters. On a interesting point, how could Hakuoro not be fooled by Kamyu's magic, just like the guards? She messed up, or he has some kind of magic protection? Hmmm...

I read more of those summaries and it seems that there's a fairly large segment where Urutorii and Kamyu come back to perform some sort of ceremony for the shrine recently built in Hakuoro's country before Karura actually gets introduced.

I'm not sure if they're going to remove that as relatively unimportant, or if they're going to switch the events around somewhat to have the Onkamiyaryuu visit after Karura's introduction.

Ok I decided to play the game yet I know absolutely no japanese. Ok after the first battle you get pts and can distribute them among 3 different things which are.... (stats?) I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what they are starting from the top.
~thx

I do believe we've been through this before, but I don't mind repeating it. The first option is for combo hits (The higher the number, the more attacks you are able to chain). The second is Attack power, the third is Defense and the last one is Magic Defense.

I'm waiting for the release of the subbed version . Still, considerating many here already saw the RAW version, i will add already the game summary for episode 9. Enjoy.

Part 6-b

Hakuoro enters Eruruu's room to find her giving Aruruu a haircut. She tells Aruruu not to move as she works, and Aruruu gives a little pouty face. Eruruu notices Hakuoro and says she is sorry, that she'll be finished soon and if he could wait for a bit. He says it is fine, he didn't come for any particular business. He watches and Aruruu's eyes narrow as she relaxes. He tells Eruruu that it looks like she's had practice, and she says she got better from doing it a little from time to time, and Aruruu's hair is very sensitive, so it takes a little knack.

She finishes and tells Aruruu that she's done, but Aruruu doesn't move or say anything. She then notices that Aruruu has fallen asleep. She says that Aruruu won't be able to sleep tonight if she sleeps now, but looking at her sleeping face, can't bring herself to wake her up. Hakuoro says it must have been because she got so comfortable, and he lifts Aruruu quietly and puts her to bed.

Eruruu then says that it is his turn. He looks at her questioningly and she says that his hair has grown considerably. He thinks of how he hadn't even noticed until she said something, and tells her that he never really gave it any thought. She tells him that is no good, it is necessary for him to take care of his personal appearance. She smiles and tells him to sit.

She starts cutting his hair and says that his hair is so silky. He asks really, and she says yes, that it combs so obediantly. He sits quietly and she hums as she works, and he wonders if he should tell her that it feels nice. Relaxed, he gets sleepy and starts to nod off.

~~~~~

Eruruu enters the throne room, saying excuse me, and walks in gracefully and bows deeply. Hakuoro thinks on how recently her court etiquette has become much better, and thinks about the first time when she entered, where she stuttered out that she would be making a report, and Kurou tried to correct when and how she was to bow, and she ended up falling over. Compared to those days, she's made quite an advancement, and then he thinks that even when her feet or hands are out of place, there is something charming about it.

She says she will report for the day, and says that the construction of the shrine has a personel shortage, delaying the anticipated completion, and there is a request for a personnel recruitment. Also, the news from Onkamiyamukai, is that the Yomoru (the country sage) is coming to the end of their term. Hakuoro says that the laborer's will be increased at once, that few days ago, there was a new tribe who had emigrated to the country, and to have this work offered to them. Benaui says that it will be done.

Eruruu then says she will report the next piece of business, and reads from her report, "Elder sister has been talking in her sleep eerily." She yells out "A-RU-RUU!" and this prank, and then Aruruu bolts and she chases after her, telling her to wait. Hakuoro says nothing, and Benaui says they should adjourn, and tells the people to keep up the good work. People murmur about the room as they leave about how lively the morning has been, and what a beginning to the day.

Hakuoro steps outside and is greeted by Oboro. Hakuoro asks him if he's become accustomed to staying there, and Oboro laughs and says "I'm me, I don't change no matter where I go." Hakuoro chuckles and asks about the others, especially the twin girls, wanting to know if they are taking care there. Oboro looks at him confused and says "Twin girls? What twin girls?" Hakuoro says Dorii and Guraa, and Oboro tells him that he is mistaken. Hakuoro asks "Mistaken?" and then Dorii and Guraa show up, and say they are ready to do their escort. Oboro says they've come at a good time.

Oboro then tells Hakuoro that they are men. Hakuoro says "What?" and Oboro tells him that honestly, they are men. He's quiet for a moment and then looks shocked and tells Oboro that he must be joking, and Oboro asks him why he would joke over a matter like that. Hakuoro repeats "Men..." and Dorii says that yes, they are men, and Guraa asks if he would like to confirm it. Hakuoro questions "Confirm it?" and Guraa says yes, and Dorii says by all means if he wishes it, to remove their clothes. He looks shocked and they say that if he is reluctant, they can help him. He starts stuttering no, feeling a blush on his cheeks, and they say "We see" and he notices they look disappointed. He tells them he is sorry he had mistaken them as girls, and they say it is okay. Oboro tells them that they should be going, and they bid farewell to Hakuoro and the three of them leave.

After they are gone, Hakuoro is still in shock over how the twins are men, and he really did want to have it confirmed just a little... Eruruu then shows up behind him and asks just what he wanted to confirm. He says "Well, those two..." and then trails off, realizing she is there, and jumps, asking just how long she's been there. She laughs and asks if he likes boys, and it's fine, even if he has unusual tastes, she doesn't mind. He protests that is not the case, and she sweatdrops, saying it really is okay. He protests again that it isn't so. She then says "A man's male companions..." and then starts blushing profusely. Hakuoro says "Eruruu?" and she blushes and quickly says she has laundry to do and runs off. Defeated, Hakuoro falls to the ground, saying "I'm not like that..."

~~~~~

[Visit living room]

Hakuoro sits down in the living room and pours himself some tea. Sipping at it, he thinks of how the work for the day has been finished ahead of schedule, so now he can relax for a little while. He pours some more tea and then hears "Oto~san" from the doorway. He looks up at Aruruu, who looks a little sad, peeping into the room and fidgeting. He asks what it is, and tells her to come in. She blushes and then her face takes on a big smile, and she rushes into the room and jumps into his lap, causing him to nearly spill his tea.

She lays across his lap and he pets her, and she buries her face, resting her cheek on him, and he tells her she is spoiled. He continues petting her, and her face takes on a dreamy, pleasant expression, and she wags her tail and flicks her ears. Hakuoro thinks about how nice this is, and is glad she isn't there to play a prank. She says it tickles, and he apologizes and asks if it was unpleasant, and she says no and wants more. She said it's her father's hand, and it's large and feels pleasant. He says he sees and then pets her gently and dearly. She says "Oto~san" again and he thinks to himself, "Father, huh? Then this girl... is my daughter. My dear daughter." He thinks of how he wishes this peaceful day could go on forever, and even though he knows such a wish can't come true, at least for now, he'll enjoy it.

~~~~~

[Visit throne room]

Eruruu enters and tells Hakuoro that a messenger announcing themself from Shikeripechimu wishes to have an audience with him. He recalls to himself that he thinks Shikeripechimu is a large country west of there, and wonders what their business in such a small, remote country is. Outside the door Eruruu is telling him not to enter yet, and Hakuoro hears a commotion outside. The messenger tells her to get out of his way and then slaps her forcefully aside. Kurou tells them to wait just a minute and unsheathes his sword, saying they have a lot of nerve barging in and slapping her aside. He tells the messenger not to move, and the messenger just laughs at him. The messenger asks if this village girl is a princess mockingly, and then says he expected as much from such a remote country, and it's laughable.

The messenger says to listen, that he brings the words of Emperor Niue. He says he has come there to unify their ground under Emperor Niue, and to obey his word and swear absolute loyalty. If they disobey, in the Emperor's name they will be exterminated. Kurou angrily says he must be joking. Hakuoro thinks to himself how they are being given a surrender recommendation, with no previous notice, and being treated with contempt.

Oboro asks if the messenger is done with this impertinent talk, and that after marching in there without notice, with rash remarks and behavior, surely he doesn't think they'll just let him leave safely. The messenger laughs and calls Oboro a high-spirited brat, and to go ahead and try it if he can. Oboro's expression turns to one ready to kill, and Hakuoro tells him to hold off. Hakuoro tells the messenger to excuse the rash remarks from his foolish younger brother, and that they are not foolish enough to oppose Emperor Niue, and they will abide by his words. Hakuoro tells the messenger not to hurry off, he would like a more detailed discussion with him later, and to please stay for a banquet, which he will have prepared at once. The messenger laughs and says he understands, and to lead the way.

Later after the messenger is gone, Oboro tells Hakuoro he's making a mistake, and why is he doing this. Benaui adds that it also gives an excuse for Shikeripechimu to invade them from within. Hakuoro doesn't reply and instead asks Eruruu if she is hurt. She says yes, and he apologizes, but she says it is fine. Then a man enters the throne room -- the squinty-eyed stranger who had entered the village before posing as a peddler. Hakuoro asks if he is Chikinaro, and he replies that he is. Hakuoro asks him to tell him about the concerns of Shikeripechimu.

A map is shown, with a large red area marked as Shikeripechimu. Chikinaro says that it is a large southern country, and the ruling emperor is "Niue." Originally the leader of the hunting clan of the Hitanunta, he is known for wisdom in military affairs. In merely a generation, the scattered numbers of the tribe were brought under one unification, and then Niue took power as Emperor, and the unification of the whole nation was part of his ambitious scheme. Hakuoro asks what the power difference is between their countries. Chikinaro points out their country, Tousukuru, to the northeast of Shikeripechimu, and says that in land size, Shikeripechimu is three times as large, and their army is ten times larger. Hakuoro repeats "Ten times..." Chikinaro tells him that if he requires more details, there will be an additional fee from him, and Hakuoro says he requests him immediately. Chikinaro thanks him for each time his services are used, and leaves.

Hakuoro says "Resignation..." and Benaui says they were established in a short time, so it is likely they are aimed at now while their basis is still not steady. Hakuoro says that it is a one-sided surrender recommendation, and they aren't using military force and are taking them extremely lightly. Benaui says that given the difference between them in war potential, it is only natural. Oboro says this is nonsense, and if they want to make them understand, they need to fight. Hakuoro says that they can't fight with the difference in their war potentials so evident. Oboro protests, but Hakuoro says that if they reject the Emperor's request, he'll surely attack. Oboro says he can't seriously be going to surrender. Hakuoro says that the matter is not so simple, for now it will keep the peace
while buying them time to devise a plan.

~~~~~

Back in Shikeripechimu, an unidentified voice speaks with Emperor Niue. It says that Emperor Hakuoro is not worth being scared of, and in a matter of time he'll easily be down on his knees. Niue says "What a jest" and the other person laughs and agrees. Niue says they are incompetent people, and laughs, and says at any rate his tail has been shown, and he's quite an amusing man. He says that he'll tame him, and tells the other to go inform the entire army, they will be moving out. The other person is shocked, and Niue says it may not be necessary for the dog to be tamed, but at least it will be amusing, and then breaks out into laughter.

~~~~~

[Visit throne room]

There is a crashing sound as people burst into the room. Kurou says he has a report, and announces that the gate at Upakko has been attacked by Shikeripechimu, and has fallen. There are about 6,000 enemy men there, and the invasion doesn't stop, in addition they're heading south, and by tomorrow, it's predicted they will invade on the lands of the Shishiharu clan. He asks Hakuoro for his orders.

Hakuoro says that he was so indulgent to them, and Benaui says it appears they have been seen through. Hakuoro says he misread them, and wonders what their reaction will be when they apply some pressure on them. Benaui says they can't win, and Hakuoro says they can, even with the difference in the war potential. Oboro asks what he is saying, and Hakuoro thinks to himself how as much as possible, he did not want to have to resort to use such a means against them.

He says it can't be helped, and Oboro questions him. Hakuoro says that in the Shishiharu lands, Kinuhan's soldiers will be notified, and every camp is to be abandoned, and the people evacuated to gather behind Houhoro castle. Oboro asks why they are to evacuate. Kurou repeats Hakuoro's orders back, and Hakuoro tells him that the camps are not to be destroyed, they are to be left as they are, but to scatter things about, to give the impression that they are running away for their lives. He says that thought it brings great pains to do this, it will give the enemy peace of mind. Kurou is silent, but then makes the affirmative to carry out orders and leaves.

Oboro asks Hakuoro what he is doing. Hakuoro continues to ignore his questions and then calls for Chikinaro, who enters. He gives him a list and tells him he needs him to get all the things on it immediately. Chikinaro says he can get it done by tomorrow evening, and Hakuoro says it must be done by tomorrow morning, it can't wait any later than that. Chikinaro says he will need the use of some rough workmen, but agrees. Eruruu says that she sees written on the list some of the things from her medicine shelves, but Hakuoro tells her it is alright, and her services won't be needed.

Oboro again says "Anija" trying to get Hakuoro's attention, but he turns to Benaui and tells him the Houhoro Castle defense formation is laid out, but only for three days, and to defend it to the last no matter what. Benaui says yes and leaves to carry out the orders. Oboro yells "Anija!" loudly, starting to get ticked at being ignored. Hakuoro says it has been done, and tells Oboro to leave for the battle formation. He looks questioningly back, and Hakuoro says the battle has started, and he will need Oboro's strength. Oboro smiles, and then with his grin of death says he complies.

~~~~~

Hakuoro stands on a cliff, overlooking the lands. Eruruu approaches behind him, and then Aruruu rides in behind her on Mukkuru. Hakuoro turns to then and asks why they are there, as he told then it was necessary for them to stay behind. Eruruu says she is sorry, but asks why they are never informed of anything. She says he tells everyone, but they are never told what is going on, or what will be happening in the future. She also asks about his reliance with Chikinaro, and says that a compound tabooed by her grandmother has been made. She says that compound should not be mixed, and Hakuoro asks her about it, and she says that her grandmother did not teach her how to mix it, only that it absolutely should not be made.

Hakuoro says that though the war potentials of the enemy is overwhelming, they cannot beat him with their cheap strategy. He says therefore, right now it is not essential for them to win, but to endure. He asks Eruruu what she thinks would be best for them to do in such a situation. She stutters, trying to come up with an answer, when he asks her what the essentials for a person to live are. She repeats his question, and then Aruruu quickly says "Food." Hakuoro says that's right, that without even one of the following, food, water, or air, a person cannot live. Especially, in troops where people are gathering, the provision supply becomes a matter of life or death. No matter what kind of large army, no matter how powerful the soldiers are, they will not be able to operate and fight without provisions, and therefore, the answer is easy: they will crush their provisions.

Back in one of the camps, the enemy soldiers are gloating about how they frightened them away and they went running, and what cowardly people Tousukuru's soldiers are. The bring out the sake and start to celebrate, when one notices something and says, "What's this?"

Back from his viewpoint on the cliff, in the distance a loud boom is heard and flames leap into the sky. Hakuoro says it has started, and Eruruu asks what is burning. Then another loud boom is heard, and from a closer location, another fire takes hold. Hakuoro tells her that is her answer to the taboo. He then says that if at all possible, he did not want the two of them to see this.

Battle bells are heard, and Oboro runs up to Hakuoro. He reports that the game has been smoked out of its den, and they are headed this way. Hakuoro asks Eruruu and Aruruu to leave, and Eruruu asks why. He says that he does not want to dirty their hands any further. Dorii and Guraa then rush up and report that the transport group is coming. Hakuoro says to depart for the battle front, and slides down the cliff. Oboro and the archers then follow him.

At the bottom of the cliff, Benaui and Kurou ride up, ashes from the fires floating
in the air. A group of a few soldiers and several Uoputaru carrying packs of provisions meet them. Hakuoro says that though it's bad, their cargo will have to be left behind.

Then Eruruu and Aruruu come sliding down the cliff, and Hakuoro asks why the two of them are there. Eruruu says that not wanting to dirty them is one-sided, that they are all together. He mumbles under his breath that there is just no use stopping those two girls.

[Battle 10 - Defeat the Uoputaru]

The party attacks the soldiers and cargo Uoputaru. When Oboro approaches one of the soldiers to attack, the soldier exclaims that it's the thief. Oboro says that it's a regrettable life for them, they shouldn't place their cargo where one can quickly run away with it. Hakuoro tells Oboro they will be well-matched, and Oboro attacks.

The attack continues until all of the enemy is defeated. Hakuoro tells them they should now leave, when Mukkuru starts growling. He asks what it is as the tiger continues to growl, and shouts "Who's there?" A laughing is heard and then Niue and some soldiers approach. Niue says that the provisions of each camp have been reduced to ashes, and he can't believe someone would calmly use such a plan. He says that he will gladly enjoy bringing that person to an end. Hakuoro then says that he is that person.

Niue jumps in attack at Hakuoro, who dodges him and tries to counter, but then suddenly hunches down to the ground, thinking to himself "At such a time!" Niue asks what is wrong, and because of this it will be his end, and he will greatly enjoy it. Oboro shouts "Anija!" and rushed to Niue in an attack, but is blocked and knocked backward as Niue tells him "Don't intrude, brat." Then with a loud scream Hakuoro gets up and jumps forward, lunging twice in quick succession at Niue, and Niue says that's it, and he'll enjoy this very much. Hakuoro attacks again, and Niue tells him he wants more. Hakuoro attacks again but then pulls back as Niue springs forward. Then there is a loud crash, and everything turns to white.

When things come back into view, a huge tree has fallen over, separating the two groups. Hakuoro then says he sees now, that the man he has been fighting is Niue, Shikeripechimu's emperor. They look at each other in silence, and then Hakuoro says their tasks has been accomplished, and to retreat. He and his comrades start to leave, when Niue calls Hakuoro's name. Hakuoro stops and turns to look at him, and Niue tells him they will meet again. Hakuoro says nothing in response, and he and his companions leave as Niue laughs hysterically.

~~~~~~

And again, lots of information. Prior to the war, we got lots of pacific and funny moments thanks to Aruruu, and the infamous Twins' "Genre confirmation".
We got to see too how much of a great negociator and tactian Hakuoro is, or at least, better than Oboro.

We got to see too Hakuoro's concern for Eruruu and Aruruu. I thought it was undertandable, given the circunstances. On the other hand, this new enemy will give A LOT of problem to Hakuoro & Co., for sure.

On a side note: GOD, that part about Hakuoro with Aruruu on his lap, petting her with she waging her tail and flicking her ears, SO MOE~!! I want see this part animated!!

Ok I decided to play the game yet I know absolutely no japanese. Ok after the first battle you get pts and can distribute them among 3 different things which are.... (stats?) I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what they are starting from the top.
~thx

I guess this is sort of meta-on-topic, but why would people want to read a simplified summary of what happens next when they can actually just watch what happens next? To me, it feels like you're ruining the surprise and weakening the entertainment value of that episode...

Be Patient, young Skywalker. One or two weeks is not too much. You can distract your mind checking another anime series, too. There's plenty of them.
That, or rewatching the previous episodes of Utamono, just to see again how cute are Eruruu and Aruruu. And Yuzuha and Kamyu, too.

Well, to each his own I guess. If it's fun for them, sure, why not. And anyway, that's what the spoiler tags are for.

Looks like you can (compared to the PC version):
* Equip different armor and weapons
* Have Eruruw use items in battle
* You can see a 'comparison stats' shot when you choose an enemy to attack
* Apparently you can still sneak a peak at Kamyu's panties in that one shot (unless they're thinking of censoring it later...)
* A new female character, Kamuchataaru, has been added

Throughout the series I noticed those "glowstones," for the lack of a better word. They do use fire, but for stuff like candles and interior lighting they seem to use those glowstone things instead of actual fire.

A lot safer, imo, but it also presents an interesting thought of where those things came from. Adds some more mystique to the world, for me.
